I'm with you on this JD7.62 I do not get this Airsoft craze nor these people that like to run around and shoot people "safely".. It is stupid and irresponsible.
In my day (In my culture) we where taught and trained to treat firearms as the tools they where designed to do. They are made to kill and you do not employ them on another living creature (human or otherwise) unless it is your intention to kill it. All other actions involving firearms (Target shooting, plinking, etc) where to hone your skills in the recognition of using them appropriately and correctly when employed for there purpose.
Shooting someone for fun and games is just not something I would call "fun" for more than one reason.
I really do not get this statement:
Do not even try to equate your little plastic pellet games to anything close to real war. You are not doing anything useful to training nor are you learning anything with these plastic pellet matches. There is no military strategy going on here. Just a bunch of Soldat wannabes running around with toy guns "playing war". If you really do not like the idea of being killed in Combat then do not try to play and pretend Combat and think you have anything realistic to say about it. Some of us have put ourselves on the line in the real world with real bullets, your little games are really lame IMO... It is a Stupid precedent to think you do not die at the hands of an advisory IMO..
That said... Airsoft weapons do have a useful function and that is in familiarization with handling techniques. I have an Airsoft AK I use frequently for this when running through handling and maneuver routines. I also use an airsoft SVD to get the few people I allow to use mine to train a bit before I give them my real one for practice or use. I use it as a training aid to familiarize them with the PSO-1 scope and how the weapon handles.
